officers of the bureau of statistics,
Mr.. Hill especially holding that the
estimate should be placed several
billions higher. But the total is ac-
curate enough for practical purposes,

The fact that the national expen-
ses arc not paid for by taxes on
property, but by everybody who
wears clothes, buys iron, eats sugar
or salt, drinks liquor or uses tobacco
in any shape is not sufficiently held
in mind by those who have no prop
erty. This kind of taxation has
been pointed to by political econo-
mists as being very advantageous
because the people bear il. without
knowing what their earnings are GO
ing for. This is the kind of taxa
ton that has reduced the national
debt. and will shortly begin to pile
up g surplus in the treasury il some
thing is not done to relieve the peo.
pie or spend the money.
This is the particular kind of tax
alton which should be carefully KEEP
down to the lowest practicable point
since the working people pay th'
most Of it, thew being in the yer,
large majority. 1t is therefore t
the interest of those out Of who's
wages the national revenue is mainl.
derived to secure reduction Of it
rather than to permit extraordinar.
ways to be invented for spending a
that is coming in. Where nations
money is to be expended for th
sake of spending it, It would be wis
to invent some way by which thos
. possessing property should pay th
taxes rather than the people wh
possess none. But meanwhile th
working people should insist tbs
congress shall speedily put an en-
to wasting their money.-Neuo Yor
